Radical Transparency, Reinvention, and Finding Your Next Chapter with Tamara Adlin

Tamara Adlin is a pioneer in the UX and product world who is widely known for her groundbreaking work on personas and her talent for speaking truthfully about the team and personal dynamics that shape and sometimes derail our work.

Tamara's the co-author of The Persona Lifecycle, a longtime independent consultant, and the host of the new podcast, Corporate Underpants.

In our conversation, Tamara and I talk about the messy middle of our careers, including the grief of letting go of who we once were professionally, the courage to try something new, and the feelings associated with reinvention.

We get real about aging in tech, why women need to talk about money more openly, and how communities, including Never Search Alone and Lift Up Connections are providing support in uncertain times.
